Most gas stations closest to me have a price of around 14,5 kronor/Liter. This is in a suburb of Stockholm.

14,5 kronor = 2,3 US dollars = 1,6 Euros

1 liter = 0,26 US gallons.

I don't own a car though and i almost never drive, so luckily i don't feel the high gas prices much.

Paid 4.20 per gallon last night on my way home.

I also sat there and multiplied my trip meter to the amount I put into the tank, and figured out i'm getting 28 MPH, and thats after lead footing it a little bit. Not bad for a pickup!

I do love my Ford Ranger. Pity they're discontinuing the best gas mileage pickup on the market this year in the US. The powers that be at Ford, must be monumentally stupid.

That's pretty much what alot of us in the U.S.A. will be saying in just a short time.
That don't bother me to much as I still get over 50 MPG on my Triumph.

2nd best thing those Brits ever gave the World.

If the US were to invest in a workable public transportation system, I would be the first to leave the car in the driveway during the week.

I would love to be able to relax on public transportation to and from work.

Here in North Virginia, our public transportation system does not cover a lot of the area.

The only 'Public Transportation' in my area?

Unluckily you eat and probably smth like 99% of these products' prices are influenced by gas price rise/gas price in general.
Apologies for spoiling the party.

Yeah i know, should have phrased it a little better, what i should have said is that, by not woning a car, i save alot of money. Ofc, products are transported by gas-consuming vehicles, so im still affected, but not as much as if i were to drive.

I spent $60 to fill up the van.

Gas Prices in my area?

Too D*** much!

I put $80 in my workvan ever other day at least - sometimes every day depending on where I have to go. Thank the good lord I have a fleet card!

It's bad, to think that what I now spend to fill a gas can for the mower use to almost fill my car.

Cost $122.00 to fill up my truck, not that I hardly drive it anymore. I bought a cheap Ford Taurus for $800 bucks at the auction, much better milage.

On the other hand, people who own cars suffer those same effects and have to pay for gas on top of it. So your party is still worse. There is a trade-off though: my transportation options are limited to times the buses run, and one more than one Sunday I've ended up walking seven miles to get home.

You know, i was watching this documentary I had recorded on DVR, called "The crumbling of America". It basically was talking about our neglected and falling apart infrastructure. Things are in pretty sad shape. And it occur's to me, that if we can't even maintain what we currently have, what makes anyone thing we could invest in anything new?
